2.2 Activating The Hydro-Hot Heating System
Diesel-Burner
Turn the “Diesel” Control Switch ON, Figure 3. This procedure will
activate the Diesel-Burner and the Indicator Light located on the Switch.
Please contact your specific motorhome manufacturer for the exact
Diesel Control Switch location. Allow 10-20 minutes for the System to
reach operating temperature. Please note that the Diesel-Burner is the
main heat source for heating both the interior and the domestic hot water.
So, be sure to leave this switch ON during normal heating requirements.
Electric Heating Element
Turn the “Electric” Control Switch ON, Figure 3. This procedure will
activate the Electric Heating Element and the Indicator Light located on

your coaches 120 VAC electrical system and is operational whenever
VAC power is available. Allow 1-2 hours for the System to reach
operating temperature. Please note that the Electric Heating Element will
adequately provide all your heating needs only for low heating demand
situations, such as when moderate ambient temperatures exist and/or
when there is a low demand for domestic hot water.
